Meet the Artist: Charles Gaines in Conversation
Thursday, March 26, 6:30 pm–7:30 pm
Free
Auditorium
Join esteemed artist Charles Gaines as he discusses his work and creative process. Combining a career-long commitment to both systems and critical thinking, Gaines has built a bridge between the early conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s and subsequent generations of artists pushing the limits of conceptualism today. Ellen Tani, Assistant Professor of Art History at RIT, will be in dialogue with the artist.
This program is offered in partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology, which welcomes Gaines (MFA ’67, D. Hon. ’23) as the Anna Ballarian Visiting Artist. An exhibition of Gaines’s work is on view at RIT’s University Gallery, March 16–April 10, 2026.
This talk is free for all and includes MAG admission. Registration is required.
